Good morning, Maine!

Hitting the trail.

Blue Hill, ME — Graham Platner’s mom addresses the crowd at his election night watch party:

“I am proud of who he is. I am proud of what he has fought for and for building this movement that all Mainers here are part of” #MESEN

[David Weigel @daveweigel]

"They don't know Maine," part of the primary's closing argument that D.C. was obsessed with his personal scandals and Maine isn't.

Graham Platner is gonna win because he has connected with Mainers on what they really care about: How this country can work for them, not just the wealthy.

He’ll win because he’s not part of the Washington establishment.

If I voted in Maine he’d have my support, no question.

Embattled Maine Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner accepts a card reading "We are your Grahamily" from a supporter as his campaign weathers ongoing scandals surrounding his personal conduct.

“This is a pretty hard thing to go through, to be entirely honest.”

“And, the only thing that really makes it bearable is going around the state of Maine and having as much support as we've gotten from people in our community and from people all over the state.”

Politico: After Graham Platner spoke in Portland on Sunday, an attendee presented him with a hand-drawn card the audience had been passing around that included the message “we’ve got your back.” Platner appeared visibly moved by the gift.

“This is a pretty hard thing to go through,” he said.

Laurie Hudson, who’d worked on the card along with her friend, Elizabeth Wise, said she’d been motivated to show Platner how she supported him as he faced political struggles.

“It’s hard to watch, but makes me more determined to help him out,” she said.

Words can’t describe the love, energy, and community on the ground here in Maine.

[Graham Platner for Senate @grahamformaine]

Thank you, Maine.

And thank you, Mom.

[Morris Katz @katz_morris]

500+ in Bar Harbor with a VERY warm welcome for their next United States Senator.

Grahammentum in Bar Harbor

[Graham Platner for Senate @grahamformaine]

These are serious accusations. They are also false.

Throughout this campaign, I’ve been open about a very dark period of my life, when I struggled with undiagnosed PTSD. I'm not proud of the man I once was, but I'm proud of the man I am today, and of the movement we've built.
